NGC 7023: The Iris #Nebula
The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) in Cepheus, 1,300 light-years away, displays colors and symmetries amid interstellar dust. Its blue hue comes from dust reflecting starlight, with central filaments also glowing red. Spanning six light-years, it contains complex carbon molecules (PAHs).
